Get a volunteer to work the lever while you apply gentle leverage to the lid, then assuming it works lubricate all the moving parts and wind the rubber stops out a fraction to keep a little pressure on the lid so that it "pops" when you pull the release.
That's assuming everything is unlocked obviously.

Maybe the reason you couldn't find it is because it says bonnet in the title, personally I think engine lid is less confusing.

Not much in there that midlife hasn't covered already (plus I got the tip from him in the first place  :). ) I've just been a bit more anal describing where the rubber feet are.
